Olaf is a 1-year old Yorkshire Terrier. Olaf came to live with his “mom,” Jill, in February of 2022.
Olaf’s Likes: River and Echo (his doggie neighbors down the street), people food, freeze dried treats, playing, all dogs, walks (when it’s warm), attention, and snuggles
Olaf’s Dislikes: Listening to the rules, loud noises, fireworks, thunder, baths
Other things from Jill and Olaf:
I worked with the AKC to find a breeder and drove to southern Illinois to get Olaf who is one of only two in his litter. He was the "laid back" one. He was bred to be shown and is a direct descendant of the only Yorkie to ever win Westminster. The breeder flew his dad in from Russia to perfect his ears. While his ears are perfect, his bite is not and that is how he ended up with me.
Olaf loves dogs...all dogs, but his absolute favorite is River Martinson. If those two could get married, they would. When the two of them are together, you can see little heart emojis flying above their heads. He puts the brakes on whenever we walk past River's house and tries to refuse going any further. If you see us in the neighborhood or even at our house, he will bark at other dogs and can sound vicious. He's saying, "Come play with me!!!!!,” with a great amount of zeal.
Playdates with River and Echo are Olaf's most favorite thing. He also enjoys going to dog parks, playing with any dog that will play with him, walks with other dogs (did I mention River?), playing hide and seek, playing with toys...anything with playing! We live on Sunshine Lane and have a lot of doggie friends and Olaf's inner circle consists of Maddie, Finley, Bella, Bailey, Nellie, Aza, Zaaz, Hope and of course, Echo and RIVER!
We look forward to the proposed dog park coming in the next few years. Until then, when on Sunshine Lane, you'll often find several of us gathered together visiting and allowing our dogs to socialize. We welcome you to stop and join us!
